We now have a new offer that will allow visitors to experience the best of both worlds in only two weeks. With a two-week break on your hands, you can come to Peru and spend the first week volunteering and the second week visiting key attractions, and exploring the rich culture and many landscapes of Peru, from dense Amazon jungle to the mountains in the Andes.

Elements of community development form part of PFY's expeditions allowing you to make meaningful contributions while living in beautiful locations and helping inspirational communities.
